Registration for the Fall 2024 Homeschool Program is now open!
There is no better classroom than the outdoors! In our homeschool program, we lead children on a hands-on exploration of the Huyck Preserve's forests, streams, and ponds. This program focuses on building ecological understanding through observation, investigation, and documentation of our discoveries, while encouraging creativity through nature art and play.
Designed for homeschool families, children ages 5-12. Caregivers are asked to stay. Preschool siblings are also welcome to register.
